Magic Symbols are a collectible item spread throughout the world of Nehrim. There are one hundred in total - they are typically found at the end of dungeons and caves, but some are scattered throughout the open world. By collecting them, the player gains experience points and when they are all collected, gains an achievement . ObjectID: 002098FC
The symbols do slightly glow in the darkness, so if a glowing object is spotted, investigate if possible.
There is a statistic in the player journal that tracks how many magic symbols have been collected during a playthrough.
As far as known, only the two magic symbols in Inodan can only be collected during the main quest.
